On 26 May, participants began transitioning to being supported by the NDIS in Ipswich. I was privileged to speak at the official opening on Wednesday.
Above I am photographed the area coordinator Fran Vicary and Peter Tully from Queensland Disability Network/ Able Australia/ Disability Community Awareness.
The opening and open day focused on ability not disability. With members of the Ipswich Art Community hosting an exhibition. What a great success!
Achieving Sales
I was able to share about life . . . with 16 support works with 4 services, with 4 different sets of policies and procedures. How's your maths?
That's right more than one per day and someday's there are 3 different staff from 3 different services. Mostly I remember who is knocking at my door. That is . . . if all goes according to plan and we all know life never conforms to our plans.
Right now life feels beyond control with not all support workers wanting to follow support plans I help developed. I still cringe at being classed as 'less fortunate' - maybe one day we will stop labelling people.
We are Australians and we all count. Today, I was empowered to say NO NEW SUPPORT WORKERS. 16 is more than enough. I am eagerly antispatipating the day 16 becomes 6 or less.
the day when I will transition to the NDIS. Meanwhile my bank account got a boost too!
I look forward to sharing more with my ndis journey with you.
